Offered at the original publication price. "A second book published to coincide with the film Two Brothers (the first, eponymous title was published in July), this one brims with b…eautiful imagery of the largest of the big cats. Matignon, a journalist specializing in animal behavior, explores the history of the love-hate relationship humans have with tigers. A synopsis of the movie is the starting point for the author's examination of the multiple roles that tigers play in human consciousness: god, brother, and feared enemy. A good section covering tiger biology completes the text, which is enlivened throughout with quotes on tigers from sources as disparate as Cambodian proverbs, big-game hunters, and science fiction classics. Heavily illustrated with woodcuts, period lithographs and photographs, and stills from the Two Brothers film, this paean to tigers will be a nice supplement to natural history collections." [large and heavy oversize book, no Priority or International shipping on this item].
